Presented my dissertation at the society of environmental toxicology and chemistry - North America (SETAC) meeting this past week! I study the fate and export of mercury from the glaciers in Alaska. It was great to meet new colleagues and inform them of my research 🏔️ #SETAC2024

Our research associate, Dr. Ackerly, has been a busy fish! She gave a talk at the International Congress on the Biology of Fish in Michigan and then gave another talk at the Society for Experimental Biology Conference in Prague. After all that, she still had energy for fieldwork!
